is it a penny board or a banana skateboard

Well it is more like a nickel board, given that it is 27 inches, which is longer than the standard 22-23 inches. I found this size more useful for my needs and my foot size but if you want the smaller size then go for that. I would recommend getting a decent set of bearings to switch out with, but besides that I love mine and I've almost had it for a year.

its a actually more comparable to a nickel board at 27'', and its great cruz board. Both the penny board, and banana board are quite similar, if you're looking for a smaller board get the 22'' board. these eight-bit boards are a great deal, bassically can buy two of these boards for the price of one penny board.

Original, but there is a difference between this and the penny boards. This is a completely respectable board, but it is made by the Stereo Company, which I do recommend over the Penny Boards from the Penny Company, as they are double the cost of this and of the same quality as stereo.

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

Have you ever seen a skateboard? Its what you put on top. There are 3 different grades of roughness though. Not sure what this one is.

Um, no. This one is yellow. Bananas are YELLOW. Cucumbers are GREEN. You would need to purchase a green one for cucumbers.

It's not. Also, we have ordered two now, and, while the board is great, the baskets have come crushed both times. They're usable, but I would expect better quality for what I paid

The box I received has a trademark of 1972, 2013. It is the classic board, good quality, and the planchette is plastic. Both pieces are as I remember them from childhood.

It is black (rubber material to keep device/object from slipping) on one side and on the other has the dry erase board.

Penny boards are made out of plastic. This board is much more solid and is a good choice, my 12 yo daughter loves it.

It is, actually. I bought it. But beware, the wheels don't really grip well and the board will keep rolling no matter the surface unless it's on the carpet. If you still want to get this, I suggest buying a quality set of wheels along with it and have someone change them for you if you cannot. If you decide not to get this, there are many other better ones to choose from. :) I hope this helps.

As long as you buy from an authorized Penny dealer you will get the real board. Look at the sellers comments to see.

Yes they are a real company. I purchased two penny boards from them last year for my kids. No problems at all...we were very satisfied. Great look, better shape and balance than the ones i grew up with.

The skate board was all assembled already. Just take it out of the box and go!!

It has a LOT of flex, being a plastic board that doesn't have Penny's signature formula. I am at the upper weight limit, however, and the board has held up just fine. Remember to keep your feet over the trucks, though, even with the board being as small as it is.

Yes, it's the same. It's flexibly, yet sturdy & durable. Without the hefty price tag. My daughter rides it on a daily basis & she said the ride is very smooth. I'm totally satisfied. I even purchased 2 other boards for my sons. Hope that helps!
